“…In the Hypertension Detection and Follow-Up Program, pill counts correlated directly with controlled BP. 51 Previous work, using different self-reported measures for antihypertensive medication compliance, found that patients with controlled hypertension were 67% compliant, whereas 46% of those with elevated BP were compliant, 41,52 similar to our findings of 67% and 47%, respectively. Our findings are also similar to those in other work reporting that 60% of hypertensive patients take their medication as prescribed.…”
